The Trinity is the term employed to signify the central doctrine of the Christian religion — the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, these Three Persons being truly distinct one from another.

Thus, in the words of the Athanasian Creed: "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." In this Trinity of Persons the Son is begotten of the Father by an eternal generation, and the Holy Spirit proceeds by an eternal procession from the Father and the Son. Yet, notwithstanding this difference as to origin, the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent. This, the Church teaches, is the revelation regarding God's nature which Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came upon earth to deliver to the world: and which she proposes to man as the foundation of her whole dogmatic system.

In the Book of the Wisdom of Solomon we find a still further advance. Here Wisdom is clearly distinguished from Jehovah: "She is . . . a certain pure emanation of the glory of the almighty God. . .the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness" (Wisdom 7:25-26. Cf. Hebrews 1:3). She is, moreover, described as "the worker of all things" (panton technitis, 7:21), an expression indicating that the creation is in some manner attributable to her. Yet in later Judaism this exalted doctrine suffered eclipse, and seems to have passed into oblivion. Nor indeed can it be said that the passage, even though it manifests some knowledge of a second personality in the Godhead, constitutes a revelation of the Trinity. For nowhere in the Old Testament do we find any clear indication of a Third Person. Mention is often made of the Spirit of the Lord, but there is nothing to show that the Spirit was viewed as distinct from Jahweh Himself. The term is always employed to signify God considered in His working, whether in the universe or in the soul of man. The matter seems to be correctly summed up by Epiphanius, when he says: "The One Godhead is above all declared by Moses, and the twofold personality (of Father and Son) is strenuously asserted by the Prophets. The Trinity is made known by the Gospel" ("Haer.", lxxiv).

The Christian doctrine of the Trinity defines God as three divine persons or hypostases:[1] the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The three persons are distinct yet coexist in unity, and are co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial. Put another way, the three persons of the Trinity are of one being or ousia.[2] The Trinity is considered to be a mystery of Christian faith.[3]

Well, let me try to explain this in layman's terms, to eliminate the mystery (as we are not privy to all God's knowledge), if possible. Obviously, God is love....love is not possible if there is nothing, or no one, to love. So, God's three distinct personalities gives us some insight into God's love. This love was shared prior to his creations between the father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..."

Hopefully, this makes sense to those who can't make sense of something beyond our finite grasps.

Sir, you make no since. I have no clue what you're trying to say. Are you saying there is no God, that we are here out of some dumb, random accident? Well, it is your prerogative to believe the unbelievable. I say, that it would take way more faith, to believe what you may believe than to believe that we are here because of the love and generosity of an all knowing, all powerful creator.I know of no circumstance where something came from nothing.However, if you believe that you are all knowing, then stick to your belief. I suggest reading the scripture before jumping to a conclusion (if you haven't already), so that your conclusion is at least informed. One cannot win the game without playing the game, as most non-believers attempt to do...

Sir, I am not talking about some false God, I am talking the God of Abraham, the creator of all things, who is an infinite God, a God of perfect justice, whose ultimate message is Love.

28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”d and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”e 31It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10

How boring...God is a pain in the ass! All three of him. I cannot see the point in rambling on about nothing when there are so many real and interesting things to do and learn.If god gives a damn I'm certain he can do better than a book. If he can't...then ain't much of a god :-)

we are made in the image of god, and have females who give birth, yet, god is in a relationship with a male, and a holy ghost?

no. the holy spirit is the divine female.

its either that logic, or the logic that god made himself, and somehow when he made us in our image, both male and female, he just added "let us make man in "our" image, as a foo ma, or the logic that somehow he and the son had sex.

the trinity is depicting the lower deities from "the one", or source, that are responsible for creating planets, solar systems, galaxies, etc.

the source of all things has both male and female, as concepts, within it. it then created the male and female deities, as elemental representations of duality of its singularity.
